The Sai Geethayan has begun with an eulogy of Ganesh and the invocation to Sai baba as the Master.

The following song depicts hoe the unconditioned has taken form of Sai baba , as the world war yearning for his Advent . God has incarnated on earth for the protection of good and for the destruction of the evil forces

The Primeval word Pranava has surged up from the limitless expanse of the cosmos. The formless has also assumed the shape of a human body.

The bodiless Brahma manifests in human form and fills this meaningless existence with sum and substance , whenever the mundane earthly life pines for immortality

The unquenced thrist of hmanity to meet the divinity slides on from birth to birth unfolding the walls of haven on the banks of the river of time . The God has then to incarnate on earth

When the clouds of destruction loom low on the battlefield, when Parth becomes apprehensive and diffident , the clarion call of hope for new life beckons the lost purpose to steer the helm of duty.

The God incarnated in new forms in every age for the establishment of Dharma, for destruction of the wicked and for the protection of righteous men.

Sai baba's form of fakir is nothing else but the personified grace and compassion of universal Guru Lord Dattatreya. The form assumed by the God is capabale of eliminating the distress off the devotees . Baba is the humanised love of God flowing from century to century to seeking the welfare of his devotees

The feet of Baba are the same feet which have made their imprints on the banks of Sharayu and in the sands of Kalindi. These are the feet of Ram and Krishna ; these have touched both the forest land in exile as well as the marble floor of palaces. The same footsteps are now treading the dust of Shirdi

The Yearning and the carvings of sadhus, saints , sages and suffering humanity make the divine to manifest on the earth .. His mission is to uplift righteousness and establish true tenets of dharma and virtue

LORD SHRI HARI MANIFESTS IN SAI FORM ====================================Lord Hari has incarnated in the Sai form on the banks of Godavari. On this very bank Shri Ram who fulfills the desires of his devotees , had stayed with Sita and passed his holy days and nights in her company. The sportive Divine actor has enacted the drama of Ramayan on the banks Gautami.

The Godavari is the Southern Ganges having two banks named after sages Vasista and Gautam. The river relishes the sacred company of Bhagawat bhaktas. She pours the pitchers of devotion at the doors of the philosophy of unity of GOd and his loving bhaktas.

Godavari embraces Kushwarta at one side ,while using the feet of Nathas as her pillow. She covers her body with blanket of Yoga and Bhakti. Goda is the stream of bliss. Nay , she is the lustrous line of light piercing through the darkness of Tamas.

On this bank of Gomati, Lord Dattatreya ( poised on the enriched lap of Krishna River ) has assumed the fakir form of Malanga Sadhu. The Narasimha Saraswati Dattatreya with three heads has incarnated in human body here.

The fakir of Shirdi is unique in as much as he has no trace of his name, nativity , relations , caste or creed. He is astoundingly startling in his internal as well as external nature . He is virtually the Ashwaatha with the roots sprouting upwards and the branches spreading below.

He has no locks of hari. He binds a torn cloth round his head . He has no Kamandalu but holds a tinpot in his hands. A piece of bread is sufficient to quench his hunger . He is the endless immortal GURU thirsting for the devotion of his bhaktas.

His Devotion has protective effect. His Love is sweeter than mother's affection . His grace is just a divine love showering on the bhaktas . He stands detached from world but is still attached to his devotees.

Let us sing the glory of Baba for ages together without a pause . Let us praise his virtues incessantly . Let us offer our birth and rebirth at his feet . Let us become a flute on his sweet lips.

Baba is the compassionate Guru treading the entire universe under his feet . Baba is Dattatreya, assuming a human form for performing his divine leelas through the village of Shirdi . My tongue may sing his glory in sweet songs for the sake of ecstacy .

Sai baba manifested in Pathari in 1835. His guru Vyankusha a chieftain and saint of shahs in Nizam state looked after him from 1839 to 1851 . He first appeared in Shirdi beneath the Neem tree in 1854 as a boy of sixteen . He reappeared in Shirdi in 1859 and lived there till his samadhi. He called Shirdi mosque , Dwaravati - Dwarka because its doors were open to all castes , creeds and religions ,he was Lord Shri Hari himself.

Shirdi was the place where gods and demons churned the ocean of milk to secure Amrita, the rear fluid of immortality.

Behold! This Divine abode of Baba. Here in Shirdi , where my lord Sai sat on a stone in his SahajaSamadhi. This is not Shirdi , but this is Dwarka of Shyamasunder Krishna , Dwaravati, The Golden Capital of Shri Hari . In fact this is spiritual Pandhari situated on the bank of Godavari . In this Pandhari , Bhagwan was waiting for his devotess for ages together. This Dwarka was submerged in the milky oceans and totally lost in oblivion. GOds and demon s churned the waters in order to find out the nine Precious Ratnas lying in its unfathomable depths.

Shirdi can be called the sister of Sindhu and the mother of Goddess Shri Kamala . It has showered the nectar of grace in the sands of the humdrum of life. Th footprints os Sadguru Sai has been imprinted in the sacred dust of shirdi . The Guru is none else but Sai who has lighted the path leading to the hoouse of enlightenment and liberation . This Shirdi is the farmyard in the border of mortal world and the divine Kashi or Rameshwar. It is "Vaikunta" on the earth.

The sky of shirdi is blue with compassion. The Wind has the fragrance of love . The waters of Shirdi have the longing thirst of merging in the ocean of Muklti . Shirdi is resplendent with the glory of my lord Shri Sai and his leelas and his mahima pervade the entire universe. Shirdi is the final destination of the journey towards peace .

When you approach the Khandoba temple you still feel the form of a young fakir sitting at the doorsteps, for the lord had first manifested himself on this village border to meet his bhaktas and fulfill their longings.

The nimba tree has still the sweetness absorbed by it , while my lord practised his penance underneath. The name of GURU burns here with celestial fragrance . Here you notice the golden crest of the Samadhi Mandir with flags fluttering majestically atop. The Shrine of my Lord which still resound breaking off the bonds of life and death. The Dwarkamai Masjid has showered joy and bliss on devotees which emanted from the loving touch of my lord. The divine love of Sai flowed as Godavari from this auspicious seat of GOD . This divine and lustrous pilgrimage leads from the border of Samsar to the horizon where known meets unknown . This is the last resort for lying down in eternal peace and tranquility .

Sai Baba appeared on the bank of Godavari and with his magic touch obliterated the barriers of cast , creed and religion . He touched the life of devotees in a direct way through the portals of Faith and Patience. Nobody fully knows whence from he came . It is said that he was born in Pathari to a brahmin parents and was nutured by fakir couple . He developed in himself the refinements of Natha and Kabir cult blended with secularism . Vyankusha his guru enkindled the light of realisation . One day he appeared on the vilage border of Shirdi with a marriage party. He was greeted by Mahalsapati on steps of Khandoba temple as " Ao sai " . This occured in 1858.

The fortune accumulated by us in hundreds of birth has borne auspicious fruit. Baba has come to Shirdi. The golden treasure has come to our door !. Baba has planted his divine feet in Shirdi.

The God has assumed form of a young lad by using his Yoga maya. All the eight siddhis have been accompanying him from the very birth. The divine feet of God have manifested in the earthly soil of Pathari village .

The land is blessed a thousand fold, where in the GOd has incarnated at his free will . The soil of Maharashtra is really blessed because Baba has assumed human form in this land .

The parents denounced the life and became mendicants in search of truth . But the divine truth that was born was unknown to them. A fakir couple reared up Baba with the love and affection of real parents.

The lustrous young Master aslso searched for the formless in the world of name and form He met Vyankusha's feet which fulfilled the thirst of he young disciple who met the reality just as the river merges in the sea

All castes and creeds in India came to a level of equality. The faith merged with patience to shower the eternal peace . All discriminations and division melted in the fire of knowledge before Baba's presence.

The new breeze of secularism came from the bank of Yamnuna , Ram and Rahim were eager to have a perfect union . Kabir began weaving his shelas of truth , love and equality.

The young siddha was sitting at the base of a tree sighting the visions of future events, when he chanced to see a lost mare. Chand Patil from Dhoop village was searching for his mare., when the compassionate young master blessed him instantly

The young master hit the ground with the forceps. And lo there appeared fire to enkindle the chillum. Chand Patil was amazed at the miraculous event.

There was a marriage in the Patil fmaily at shirdi and the divine lad accompanied the wedding party. The divine light appeared in front of the footsteps of khandoba temple at shirdi

Mhalsapati the priest of Khandoba welcomed Baba in front of the temple with the words filled withardour and respect"AAO SAI "

Thus the God without name and form was couched in a name and a form . The divine feet appeared on the horizon of the universe.The fortune took a human form . The age of Spiritual awakening came to the portals of earth's kingdom

HE DWELLS NOT IN A MOSQUE NOR IN A TEMPLE===========================================( Mhalsapati greeted Baba in front of Khandoba Mandir but he did nt allow Baba to enter the templeasuming that he was a Muslim fakir. Baba, Broadcast his inspiring message of unity of soul and religion on the threshold of Khandoba's Temple)

O Priest of Khandoba you have invited me as 'Come sai' but you are resisting my entry into the shrine supposing that i am a Muslim ! ..

O ignorant pujari , DO you think that these touch of a Muslim Fakir would tarnish the /god who purifies the entire universe with this very touch ? The master of the universe is neither a hindu nor muslim he is not fetted by the chains of religion . He is above all religions creeds or sects !

One can call him as Ram or Rahim , He still manifests as a different entity He does not dwell in a temple or a mosque. His proper seat is the heart of a true devotee

He permeates all universe and still remains above it . He can never relish the confinement in four walls of a house. He has no religion ,caste or creed , O Priest do you think that the Chaitanya bears a stamp of a caste ? Sheer ignorance ! The Chaithanya is made up of no other case than that of Chaitanya alone !

The God is formless .. he has no singular shape . He manifests himself in all forms right , from the blade of grass to the substance of Brahma itself. He has no begining , no middle no end. He has no name or form ; yet he is seen adorning all forms and names within himself

The ecstacy that overflows through intense devotion the beating of anahata in the hearts of yogis , the blissful feeling which the hearts of wisemen relish , are the forms of God. God is without any conditioning and beyond all gunas, time and space

The God does not expect any oblations of water , leaves flowers and other upacharas. What we can offer him best is the pure and untinted heart. You have to associate with a mind steeped in deep and intense love. You have to immense him in the fathomless waters of devotion

There is no spot which can contaminate the principle which is internal and auspicious . O Priest be wise shed all ignorance and break away from this network of Adnyana. I have come here in Shirdi with this very purpose that we should bring light to new dawn of divine light from this place and awaken the world to a new era of understanding of the ultimate truth

Whatever scripture you choose to read, Geetha, Quran or Gur Bani, you will find Sai. But, how honestly one thinks and remembers on this fact?

Good thoughts lead to good intentions; good intentions lead to good actions. Recent events and the religious riots in India must be considered as a blot to the system that has strong foundations in peace, tolerance and religious harmony.

Loving our Sadguru is not complete until loving the next person regardless of his religion on orientation does not happen. Our devotion to our beloved Sadguru is not accepted until we learn to love the next Parsee or Hindu, the Muslim after and the Christian after. Let all the Sai devotees spend a moment this peaceful Thursday remembering the descriptions of Saidarbar of the old Shirdi days, where children of every religion flocked around their only father.

Let our thoughts be filled with those intentions, the intentions to serve and love. It is the simplest way to seek Sadguru's attention!

JAISAIRAM!!!!!!!!!!!

subhasriniOM SAI SRI SAI JAYA JAYA SAI!!!Let us pray at the feet of Sai Baba who is the incarnation of all gods and protector of all, to show mercy on us, and increase our devotion towards him.

THE LAMPS BURN WITHOUT OIL =============================================

Gangagir maharaj knew the spiritual glory of the young Saint of Shirdi. But common mans till was unaware of the lads divinity. Baba was fond of illuminating the Masjid with oil lamps. Once the grocers in Shirdi denied giving him oil for lamps" . Baba lit the earthen lamps with water and the lamps shed light throughout the night. This miracle spread out Baba's Mahima beyond the borders of Shirdi and established him as a man of amazing power and divine lustre.

The wicks burn without oil , whenever the lustre of Atman is ablaze! The flames are lit with water. This is the miraculous way of the Lord .

Sai loved to light earthen lamps in the Masjid and enjoy the festival of lights every night. The Dwarkamai was flooded with light emanating from the wicks made of oiled rags.

For this luxury Baba used to beg for oil from the grocers and merchants. Then he lit his oil lamps throughout the night. This young saint of shirdi was mad after light. The ignorant people called this craze. But this crazy lad could light ever the entire darkness of actions of past births.The unwise merchants in Shirdi thought that this was luxury of a beggar and they could no longer tolerate this . They cannot afford to support the madness . The perverted minds of the grocers denied giving oil to Baba.

Baba was an unattached master of the universe . Would he be short of oil when the Goddess Lakshmi was his maid servant . His face was unperturbed . His peace of mind remained unruffled.

The young Saint drank a few doses of water from his tinpot and poured the balance liquid in the lamps. The wicks were wetwith water . They were lighted and the flames passed on from lamp to lamp

The lustre was passed on from the divine Atman of Baba in the form of a flame. The water principle was transformed to Tejas principle and teh wicks burns without oil. when the lustre of soul is illuminated the lampsburn without oil . This is the miraculous way of the Lord .

( The touch of spiritual efflugence of Baba turned the water principle into a flame. The splendour of Baba's Spirituality crossed the geographical borders of Shirdi and radiated into the entire Maharashtra . It dazzled the Indian horizon , illuminated the skyline of the earthen globe. This coincides with Swami Akkalot incarnation winding its lustre and the Guru- shakti streaking its light through Baba. Madhavarao Deshpande popularly known as Shyama was cordial associate of Baba's Daily routine. He was a teacher in Shirdi School and a great friend -devotee of Baba. Once Baba explained the essence of Bhakti to shyama)

Shyama ' I carry the burden of my devotees . I have repeated this truth a million time to you . DOnt you recollect ..?

The heavenly fire is incessantly burning in this Dhuni, flaming before me. The fire itself will witness this truth . Dwarkamai is resounding my eternal promise to carry the burden of my devotees anxieties.

I shall remove all tortures and distress of My devotees singing my life story . I shall shower peace and tranquility on such devout Bhakthas.

Those who have merged themselves in Me and united in my identity to forget their physical awareness . i carry their Prapanch on my shoulders . although they are bereft of their body consciouness.

I manifest myself in their dreams, their musings They may be awake or asleep , my presence in their minds floods their life with love and devotion

Those devotess are dearer to me than my own soul , because they forget themselves in recitation oh My name and remembrance of My form and Mahima

I am the Kalpataru fulfilling My devotees yearnings .I am the ambrosial compassion. I am the Mantra, which leads beyond death. I am the bank of the river of liberation

The devotess who climb the steps of this mosque will cross the ocean of Samsar, I shall take them to the yonder shore of peace.

THe delicate blossom of this Nimba tree wipes off the most torturous distress. If you light a lamp beneath the margosa tree , all your sins will be forgiven and all your sufferings will come to an end

(Baba explained to Shama HIs divine protection to one who sings his glory . Shama was a Satyabhaktha , an example of dedication . Another Dhyani Bhakta was Nanasaheb Dengle. Baba admonished the philosophy of knowledge and duty. Dhyanayoga and Karmayoga to Nana. Baba dwells upon the eternity of soul, transience of life.

The life is fleeting and mortal by its very nature ! Yet the soul is immortal without begining or end. Whence have these kiths and kins appeared ..? Where from have the family and fortune come ..? It is the desire that creates this momentary phenomenon. The fantasy whirls rounds the body till it exists. The life thed death and the ignorance have their source within the thirst, the lust and the desire.

The attachment and lust assume multiple forms. The ignorance itself takes changing shapes . The man in his lack of understanding believes that he is the doer of Karma. The ego of the 'doer' creates new karma and blinds the human being to new fate.

Remain in close liason with the divine feet of the Lord. Surrender all desires,lust and pride at the Lord's feet, Do your duty without expectation of friut or honour . Let the ego of the doer be burnt in the fire of knowledge.

Behold the form of God in everything . Treat Gold and dust alike. Do not desire for fruit of actions, Cast off attachment. Be conscious of the Lord in every being .

Besmear the holy Ashes on your Forehead========================================(Baba unravelled to Nanasaheb the pith and core of Dhyanahakthi in which he embracedd transience of life , the lure of Maya and the futility of ego sense . The Ravages of samsara are unveiled by decay and death. The incessantly burning Dhuni ( fire) in the masjid made the Udi to the vistors as prasad. This was a symbolic offering to awaken the ignorant men and women steeped in desire to the final remains of physical life. It simulatneoulsy rejuvenated the dedicated devotees cured them and enjoined them to the divine life, the immortality of soul and the magic touch of grace.

" The Human existence is finally reduced to a handful of ashed, the wealth the kith and kin are momentary asociations. This is what the Dhuni fire tells us day and night. Awake , arise besmear the udhi on your forhead . Though this is a product of the same fire of Dhuni , it would unfold to you the dazzling light of immortality beyond death . Besmear the holy ashes.

These are no ashes , this is life that survives demise . This is the bond of Lord Krishna's everlasting love. This is the holy thread of proctection vouched by the Master of Dwarka. This is a living potrait of the divine principle in the wolrd of mortal beings .The life is a perpetual and unending warfare against lust and desire . This collection of five senses will vanish into five elements.These ashes are throbbing with the music of the Lord, only have ears to listen to it.

This is the love and affection of Mother Masjid ( Dwarkamai ) this is the Alchemy of allah malik . This is the divine grace of the Majestic Fakir . These ashes are thebond of love woven by the Lord of Vaikuntha with his devotees

The auspicious smearing of the ashes dispels ,the fever of the world( bhava) . The ashes shower Atmic bliss , eliminate the veil Maya and floos life with the nectar of grace.

This is an unlocked door to heaven , an open gate of liberation and a free and bountiful harvest of deliverance. These ashes are potent with the strenghth of love and solidity of soul , which are invaluable treasures of the immortal life beyond the human existence

Eight Siddhis Sing a Lullaby as the Master Sleeps in the Mosque===============================================================

( The Master was weaving a bond of love for his devotees in order to link them with god . Who was but a manifestation of Love light , knowledge and bliss. However people recognise siddhis and miracles better than any upadesha. Baba was united with the cosmic God and this manifested itself from his every word , deed or even look ! Eight siddhis and the Navanidhis escorted him at every step. His manner of sleeping in Dwarkamai was astounding. There was a wooden plank fixed to the roof of the mosque with strings made of rags on which baba slept . NObody knew how he climbes to such a height and how the rags bore the burden of his sleeping body. Nobody saw him descening from the plank . It was as if the siddhis , Anima Laghima were singing a cradle song for this King of Yogis, The lullaby is resounding within the four walls of Dwarkamai)

O Siddhis sing your lullaby in a low tune for the Master is resting in his yogic trance on a narrow plank with the lamps burning on the four sides .. The Master is asleep on the swings of rags. Sing your lullaby !!.

Nobody knows when Shri Hari Sai has reposed on such a height. He was on the ground a little while ago. How can the material world know the mystery of the divine world..? Sing your lullaby !!

The dark night is full of dead silence , yet it is illumined by the four lamps in four corners , The name of Rama resounds in Sai's heart . The entire universe lies open before the omniscient eyes of the Master , which outwardly seem closed. Sing your lullaby !!

All Sidhhis , this is your master. You mingle your consciousness in the name and form of the Lord. Spread out the miraculous greatness of the Lord in the four quarters of the globe. Sing the songs of light and blaze up the dense darkness with splendour .. Sing your lullaby
